Add android:gravity="left|center_vertical" to your button.

<Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="New Button"
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:gravity="left|center_vertical"/>  <!-- this line -->

Use android:gravity="left|center_vertical" in button's xml, and you can also add android:paddingLeft="YOUR PADDING IN dp"
